A more in depth look
In 1998, the Maestro Gary Karr accepted to personalize one of our German bass bows. The bow is shorter than a standard bow for more flexibility with a well-positioned center of gravity due to the snakewood frog. This bow, although relatively heavy, is easy to play, produces a strong sound and is particularly adapted to both solo and orchestra players.
Thank-you Gary for your “Karr…bow”!
Testimonial
"Every serious bassist ought to own one. The bow feels like a fine pernambuco stick and is virtually indestructible It would be hard to find a pernambuco bow for that price handles as well and offers you the sound and comfort of this carbow bow. I’ve used it for years and I’ve fooled a lot of people into thinking that I was playing on a pernambuco bow. Therefore, it’s hard to detect any difference between carbon fiber and wood. In some ways, I prefer the feeling of the carbon bow. The sound is not as elegant as my first $5000 pernambuco bow, but, when considering the price difference, Carbow’s projection capability and sound is damn good"
